Cuomo Won’t Bite On Trump Question

Gov. Andrew Cuomo — perhaps wisely, but to the disappointed of a few reporters — didn’t bite when asked about Donald Trump potential run for governor of New York next year.

“Oh, I don’t know. We have plenty of time for politics,” Cuomo said. “I’m thinking more about the State of the State and the budget.”

Trump met with Republican lawmakers and political consultant Michael Caputo earlier this month and emerged to not rule out a run for governor against Cuomo.

The state Republican Party, including Chairman Ed Cox, has been eagerly talking up Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, while Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino has not ruled out a run on the Conservative Party line. Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin, a frequent Cuomo critic, is also considering a run for governor as well.

Regardless of who his Republican opponent is come 2014, expect to hear that refrain a lot from Cuomo whenever he’s asked a question deemed “political.”

The only reason reporters didn’t get anything out of Andrew Cuomo as regards Donald Trump is that his handlers haven’t yet given him permission to speak on the topic. He will talk about Trump when they have figured out for him what his position is. He will talk about Trump when they have told him what to say about Trump. Andrew Cuomo is not a ready speaker. He doesn’t have a mind that generates ideas or a mind that thinks for itself. He is completely under the control of others. A complete wimp. His father was the complete opposite. His father was a real intellect. Mario Cuomo spoke his mind and what he said was his own. He generated his own ideas. The governorship has been significantly watered down. And it happened abruptly, not over time. It happened on January 1, 2011. Donald Trump doesn’t have much of a political background and the governorship is not traditionally the place where one starts ones political career. But the thinking now goes something like this: If Andrew Cuomo can do it, anyone can.
